[Verse 1]

I never knew if I should ask you

I never thought the time was right

He's the proof, the untouched ruse

A courtroom sketch of lifeless eyes


[Pre-Chorus]

The constant need to disassemble

The soft veneer that holds his reins


[Chorus]

I think I’m comin' undone

He bought the gavel to run

All the crooked, little cities


[Verse 2]

Will the starlets guard their drinks now?

Forty winks 'til slumberland

Push the hoax and drill the script

Teleprompter or polygraph?


[Pre-Chorus]

I’ll try to erase it

But your faith has sеt the trap


[Chorus]

I think I'm comin' undone

He bought thе gavel to run

All the crooked, little cities


[Verse 3]

The burning film in your projector

Ulcerous amnesia

Memories, they're not so fond of my mind


[Pre-Chorus]

But I will erase you

Flash burns from flashbacks


[Chorus]

I think I'm comin' undone

He bought the gavel to run

All the crooked, little cities


[Outro]

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

I think I'm comin' undone

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

I think I’m comin’ undone

I think I'm comin’ undone

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

I think I'm comin' undone

I think I'm comin’ undone

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

I think I'm comin' undone
